Application filed April 11, 1918. Serial No, 227,881.

vented certain. new and useful Improvements in Guns, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in liquid discharging guns andhas as its'special object the provision of a device attachable to arifle or the like, adapted to deliver a stream of blinding liquid at aconsiderable distance.

A further object is to provide such devices in the form of attachmentswhich may be readily applied or removed from the barrels of the riflesand which are operated in an easy and convenient manner.

These and other like objects are attained by the novel construction andcombination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanyingdrawing, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which Figure1 is a side elevational view showing a conventional type of gun andindicating the application of the invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view taken through thecenter of a liquid gun made in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 3 is a similar view of the same, the parts being shown in anotherposition.

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view, taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is another transverse sectional view taken on line 55 of Fig. 3,and

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary bottom plan view indicating the method ofsecuring the device to the gun.

An army rifle or other like support 10, may be used, to which isattached, by clips 11 and 12, a cylindrical casing 14, the clips beingformed of spring material, the extending portions of which act asresilient arms partially surrounding and grasping the gun.

To further support the tube 14, there is at the rear of the case 14, anangular bracket 16, secured by screws 17, the other foot 18 of thebracket having a circular opening 19 from which extends a slot 20, theopening 18 being adapted to receive the head 21, of the screw 22,forming in efi'ect a well known form of bayonet joint, the screw 21being fixed in the supporting element at all times.

A head 23 is formed at one end of the cylinder 14, the same beingimperioratc and into which the screws 17 pass, whereby the device isheld to its support. The opposite end of the tube 14 has engaged with ita conical head 24, containing a central longitudinal passage 25, whileextendingrean wardly into the'cylindrical casing 14, from the head 24,is a tube 27, in which is fitted a plunger head 28-,connected by the rod29, with a sliding block 30 from which extend projections 31, fittingthe bore of the tube 14, and a handle 32 by which the block can beoperated.

A coiled tensional spring 33 surrounds the inner cylinder 27, and isattached at one end to a lug 34, While the other end oi the spring isengaged at the outer extremity 35, of a rod 36, secured in the block 30so as to normally draw the plunger toward the point of the device, thehandle element 32 extendin outward through a slot 38 formed in the tu e14.

In operation, the device having been attached to a support, the handlelever 32 is drawn back, together with the plunger, from the point 25,and upon it. being released, due to the pull of the spring 33, forcesthe liquid contained in the tube 27, outward through the point or nozzle25 and it will be obvious that a chemical solution may be used such aswould at least temporarily, blind a person subjected to the stream.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is.

1. In a liquid gun, the combination with an outer cylindrical casing andmeans for securing said casing to a support, of a conical point securedat one end of said casing, a tube formed with said conical pointextending rearward into the casing, a plunger fitted to said tube, meansfor manually drawing said plunger outwardly, and a spring coiled aboutsaid tube adapted to draw said plunger toward said point.

2. In a liquid gun, the combination with a cylindrical casing, means forconnecting said casing to a support, a conical point affixed to one endof said casing, and a rigid head at the other end of said casing, of atube formed with said conical point extending rearwardly into saidcasing, a plunger slidable within said tube, a plunger rod extendingfrom said plunger toward the rear end of said casing, a block in whichsaid plunger rod is fixed, means for operat ing said b oclr, a rodengaged with said blocls extending parallel of said plunger rod; and

beyond said tube, and a spring 'encir'oling said tube, one end of saidspring being engaged with the inner end of sai treart vardly into saideasing, a plunger rnovaldle in said tube, .as lidin g block in saidcylinder, aplunger rod connectir'ig between said tube, and its other endengaged with the outer end of signature.

"plunger and said block, a handle formed Withsaidblock extendingoutwardly through a slot formed in said cylinder, a rod secured in saidblock extending arallel to said plunger rod exteriorly of sa d tube, anda coiled tensio'aar spring surrounding said tube, one

end of said spring being engaged at the iniierextrelnity of said tubeand the opposite end to the outer extremity of said plunger r0d vl1erebysaid plunger and blockare held in a normally oxtendedposition.

, In testimony whereof I have afiixed my FRANK GADEOKI.
